Flight, car rental, and hotel. Stress free after all is done. I didn't know at the time but after the trip, I realized I had more family time because of Priceline being reasonable with pricing and so many different ways to fit my schedule. Fyi, we missed our flight home (helping out a stranger, more important then time). Flight company still got us home safe. Thank you to the one who created this app and I'll be using you again.

If I could give 0 stars I would!!! THEY ARE A COMPLETE SCAM, and the so called "customer service department" is dumber than a bag of rocks!! So here is the story I had a hotel booked and decided to reach out to the hotel directly regarding my arrival time and to my utter surprise they did not have my reservation at all. I verified 2 times with Management who advised me that they have been experiencing several issues with Priceline doing this to their customers. So there I go back to Priceline to argue my case since they took the money for the hotel out of my account. And this stupid representative tells me "We cannot refund because we show a reservation on file on our end". Like are we serious here. The hotel literally confirmed NO RESERVATION. Mind you they refused to give back my money and if I cancelled it was non refundable. SCAM!!!

Through Priceline.com, I reserved a room in Comfort Inn, Federal Way, Washington, for one day from 3 pm to 11 am next day as usual. I paid around $94. I couldn't call the hotel to tell them I will be late because I was on the flight and have access to internet but no access to phone to call. I arrived between 8 and 9 am the day of check out to have few hours sleep after my long trip. They said that they cancelled my reservation and I don't have a room and forfeited my money. There is still few hours that I paid for but they said that I don't have any remaining time to stay in the hotel. They refused to give the room for the time that I paid for and they refused to refund me. It is like somebody offers you something and you pay for it and then he says, go ** yourself, I will not give you what you paid for and I will not give your money back because I am stronger than you. It is horrible experience. I had to reserve another hotel to have some rest after my long trip.

Priceline took out enough money from my account to cover my entire trip as a check for funds, then took out half of it again so they could send back the full amount in a week. So they’ve tied up one and a half times the cost of my trip out of my bank account. I will NEVER use this crappy Priceline service again.

I hadn't used them in years due to a bad experience. Should've learned the first time. They sold my booking to a 3rd party company called Web Beds. I accidentally booked the incorrect date. The hotel was very nice and said they would give me a refund verbally as well as in writing if Web Beds would reach out. Priceline gave me an outrageous run around and stole my money.

Easy booking. Have used Priceline a few times before. On this particular trip, it was late late night early morning before arriving at the hotel I had booked through Priceline. This was a treacherous trip to begin with but imagine pulling up to your hotel at about 1:00 in the morning to find out that they are not even open. No they were closed for a complete remodel and Priceline still booked it and took my money anyway. I immediately got in touch with customer service and at first they told me that it was not refundable. However when I explained that the place wasn't even open they transferred me to higher up and I was given a refund. However that refund still has not posted to my account.
So my problem here is why would you take reservations for and book a hotel that is currently not open? Why is it it takes 2 seconds for you to take my money but it's days to get it refunded to my account? I needed it right then so that I could get a different hotel that was in fact open. Had I not had an emergency fund I would have been in big trouble! I think the refund process should be much faster in that line of business and if not then I think that they should comp you a room elsewhere. That's not the case. So make sure that you know where you're booking is actually open for business.

Priceline failed to properly book my flight home, leaving me with a huge last-minute hassle when I went to check in for my flight, only to find that my reservation did not exist. There were also multiple issues when I tried to rebook, leading me to book directly with the airline instead. After I booked with the airline, Priceline called me to say that my rebooking actually did go through (after it said multiple times that it had failed), and I was getting charged. I am now in the process of getting refunded, and I am not confident it will go smoothly. I highly recommend avoiding Priceline.

Worst company ever dealt with. I booked with them the first time. My itinerary included baggage. Apparently the airlines don’t honor a Priceline. They even said they were a scam. I was flying out to bury my mother, and I was trying to save some money by booking with them. Priceline will not reimburse me for the luggage I paid for. I wrote a complaint to Priceline.

They need to be aware of the car rental services that they partner with. I had a horrible experience with NU car rental. This is our 2nd time using them in 2 different cities and the outcome was the same--HORRIBLE!
1. They pressure you into purchasing insurance to cover the vehicle- but if you have accidental insurance you don't have to do that. I had to show them that we were on my credit card. HORRIBLE! But I'd rather do that and get the money released back to me than to "give" them money for NOTHING!
2. When booking the reservation indicates that they are located onsite--they are NOT. You have to take a shuttle to their location--which is FALSE advertising. With this issue, you will have to adjust your time for pick up and drop off--NOT COOL AT ALL!!!!
3. You have to use a stupid Kiosk which takes away from the human experience--even though their rep was virtual it was still horrible! There was an elderly couple before us and the wife told us that they were there for over an HOUR just because they were having a difficult time with proving they had accidental insurance. Totally unacceptable! They were lucky that they could get their agent on the phone to help!
4. They do close around 7 so you better have another transportation plan in place for late arrivals or you will be ass-out!
Spend the money to select a reputable car rental services! PRICELINE HAS GOT TO DO BETTER BY THEIR CUSTOMERS!

I only wish we had done our homework and looked at reviews before we booked a car rental through Priceline. We were quoted a price of $154 for the week. Upon arrival of the airport, we contacted the third-party global rentals, and they informed us it would be about half an hour before they picked us up. When we arrived at the car rental company, we were informed that Priceline paid the $154 but our additional cost were going to be well over $500. Part of that was the insurance.
When I informed them that I already had insurance and I didn't want the insurance, they requested a review of insurance papers and insisted that the $250,000 liability was not enough. It had to be at least $300,000. We ended up walking out of there and going back to the airport to rent a car. Then I looked at the reviews of Priceline and of Global Car Rental and was mortified to see how many reviews stated exactly my experience. The one good thing that came out of this whole transaction is determination to read reviews before doing business with anybody. I honestly thought Priceline was one of the good ones, but I guess I'm wrong. When I return, I'll be requesting my refund from Priceline. I'm sure that will be another adventure.

Terrible experience and I will never use them again. I booked a package and my flight and hotel were in one city and my rental car was in another city 80 miles away and they told me I should’ve caught their error. They said they couldn’t help me and said they could cancel my rental car and I had to find one on my own for double the price. I will never do business with them again and no one else should either. Oh, and the final straw was I was communicating with the executive office about my issue and when I went to reply, they blocked my email. That’s great customer service.

ZERO stars! Made the mistake of using Priceline for a weekend trip. The hotel was DISGUSTING & ended up having to leave early due to finding cockroaches in the dining area. Could I find anyway to communicate with Priceline about this? NO! Everything says to wait for the survey that is sent after the stay. The only survey I got was for the 2nd hotel we had to move to after leaving the first one. I find it interesting they didn't send a survey for the first one, could it be because they KNOW it's terrible? I should be refunded for the night we couldn't stay in a nasty hotel that was made to appear differently in their posting. I can't even leave a review to warn others about this location. Terrible service by Priceline!

We booked a resort and airfare package through them. The package we booked advertised carry-on bags included, the booking confirmation email said the same, only for us to arrive at the airport and be told at the check-in counter that bags were not included. Airline said we needed to pay extra for bags and submit a receipt to the booking agent for reimbursement. Well the booking agent sent us back to the airline, the airline sent us back to the booking agent, and after months of back-and-forth, phone calls and follow-up emails with no response, I had to give up and eat the loss (almost an extra $250). At this point, I guess a bad review is my only recourse.

Review: Priceless / Nifty Car Rental – New Orleans, LA (Booked via Priceline) | October 2026. Rating: 1/5 Stars. I recently rented a vehicle through Priceline from Priceless/Nifty Car Rental in New Orleans and unfortunately had an experience that I feel obligated to share in detail, both as a warning to future customers and as direct feedback to the company itself.
Logistics and Location. To begin, the rental location is not situated at the main airport rental car hub, which is where all arriving passengers are bussed upon landing. There is no clear communication about this prior to arrival, which means customers are left waiting and confused before having to be picked up and transported approximately two miles away to what can only be described as a very small, off-site facility. For travelers unfamiliar with the area, this is an immediate inconvenience that sets a frustrating tone before the transaction even begins.
Payment Policy and Transparency. Upon sitting down to complete the rental, a $400 deposit is required, which is not entirely unreasonable for a rental car company. However, the staff informed me that Capital One cards are not accepted. When I asked for an explanation as to why, the manager repeatedly stated only "we don't take Capital One," offering no further clarification whatsoever.
A professional business should be able to provide a clear, straightforward reason for its payment restrictions, especially when they are non-standard policies that are not disclosed upfront during the booking process on Priceline. Rather than working toward a solution, the manager quickly pivoted to suggesting I cancel the reservation, which, as she was well aware, would have resulted in a non-refund given the 48-hour cancellation window. This felt less like customer service and more like a deliberate pressure tactic.
The Contract and Addendums. Before receiving the vehicle, I was presented with an 11-line addendum to the standard rental contract. Each line outlined a separate condition, the violation of which would result in a deduction from the deposit. The one that was specifically and repeatedly emphasized by staff was a clause stating that driving beyond a 300-mile radius would result in a $300 deduction per day, despite the rental being advertised as unlimited miles.
The sheer volume of these addendums, combined with the high-pressure atmosphere and the looming threat of losing a non-refundable reservation, raises serious concerns about whether customers are being set up to forfeit portions of their deposits regardless of how responsibly they use the vehicle. Rental companies are well within their rights to have policies, but those policies should be disclosed clearly at the time of booking, not buried in a contract signed under duress.
Vehicle Condition. The vehicle provided was a Volkswagen with over 143,000 miles on it. Upon entering the car, both the oil warning light and the tire pressure sensor were actively illuminated on the dashboard. Renting a vehicle in this condition is not only a poor reflection of fleet management practices, it is a legitimate safety concern. A customer traveling in an unfamiliar city should never have to wonder whether the car they were handed might break down. This is an area that demands immediate attention from ownership and management.
Return Process and Deposit Deduction. The return process was where things became most problematic. With an early morning flight at 9:30 AM, I needed to return the vehicle by 8:30 AM. The office does not open until 9:00 AM, and repeated calls to the company went unanswered with no answering service available. There is no key drop box at the location, and since the office is off-site from the airport rental hub, I was forced to Uber to the airport after leaving the vehicle parked directly in front of their office on their own lot. Thirty minutes later, I received a call accusing me of abandoning the vehicle and informing me that $250 would be deducted from my deposit. The manager, when reached, again offered nothing but the same repeated statement with no willingness to engage in reasonable dialogue or consider the circumstances.
If a rental company operates outside of standard airport hours, it has a fundamental responsibility to provide customers with a clear and accessible vehicle return process, including a drop box, an after-hours answering service, or at minimum, written instructions for early returns. The absence of all of these options, followed immediately by a financial penalty, is not a reasonable business practice.
Final Thoughts. I have no issue paying for what I use or for genuine violations of a rental agreement. What I do take issue with is a business model that appears to be structured around vague, excessive addendums, poor vehicle maintenance, and a lack of transparent communication, all designed in a way that makes deposit deductions feel nearly inevitable. I strongly encourage potential renters to explore other options in the New Orleans area before booking with Priceless or Nifty Car Rental.
As for Priceline, the booking experience itself was smooth and user-friendly. However, Priceline would do well to vet the rental partners listed on their platform more thoroughly and provide a meaningful avenue for customers to escalate complaints against vendors who do not meet basic standards of service. A platform is only as trustworthy as the partners it chooses to represent.

If I could give 0 stars, I would! I am beyond disappointed and disgusted with Priceline. After this experience, I will never use this company again, and I will strongly advise everyone I know to avoid booking through them. In June, I booked a vacation bundle through Priceline that included flights and a rental car for my October trip. On Thursday, October 8, I flew into Tampa with my children, expecting to pick up the rental car I had already paid for. After waiting outside for a shuttle to take us to the off-site rental location, I called the rental company to find out where the shuttle was. That is when I learned that Economy Car Rental was no longer operating out of Tampa.
Priceline had booked me through a rental company that was apparently no longer operating at that location, leaving me stranded at the airport with my children and no transportation to our vacation rental, which was approximately 90 minutes away. When I called Priceline for help, I was told that I had selected the “no changes, no refunds” option when booking. However, they would offer me a so-called “one-time forgiveness.” Excuse me? I didn't need forgiveness. I needed the rental car Priceline had promised me! Their solution? I could pay an additional $99 to receive a refund of approximately $270 for the rental car. Let that sink in: Priceline failed to provide the rental car I had booked, and I was expected to pay them another $99 to get a partial refund for a service they had failed to deliver.
To make matters worse, the customer service representative assured me that an investigation would be conducted. I was specifically told that if the investigation confirmed Economy was no longer operating in Tampa, Priceline would refund the additional $99. I was required to send an email confirming my agreement to these terms. Nearly TWO HOURS later, I had accomplished nothing except spending more time on the phone while my family was left without transportation. Priceline did not arrange a replacement vehicle or offer meaningful assistance. Instead, I was told I could go online and book another car myself. By that point, prices had skyrocketed to approximately five times what I had originally paid, and I needed a car immediately. With no help from Priceline, I had no choice but to rent a vehicle directly at the airport. That last-minute rental cost us $950.
A few days later, I still had not received the promised $99 refund or any information about the investigation. I called customer service again and spoke with three different representatives, all of whom repeated the same company policy: they could not refund the $99 because I had made a change to my reservation. What change? The rental car I had booked was not available because the company was apparently no longer operating at that location! I did not voluntarily change my plans. I was forced to find another option because Priceline had failed to provide the service I purchased. Eventually, I asked to speak with a manager and was connected with someone named Peter. His behavior was absolutely unacceptable. He talked over me, blamed me for the situation, refused to take accountability, and ultimately hung up on me. This is how Priceline treats customers!

If I could leave a .5 star rating I would. There are multiple reasons why. One reason the description of the “hotel” doesn’t reflect what it really is like. Second it didn’t mention that it’s in a very rough neighborhood. Third doesn’t say anything about being charged for hot water usage. Fourth Priceline is not trying to work with me on a refund or even a transfer to a different hotel(which I’m fine with that). VERY BAD COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH!!!

I booked a hotel thru Priceline and when I arrived at the hotel it was closed for renovations and had been for some time. I immediately called priceline, on the line for over on hour - mostly on hold, and informed them and asked that I be refunded my payment, even though it was a non-refundable payment, the person from priceline said I would receive a refund because it was their fault. I never received a refund, I called again, and was told the same thing, and was then transferred to a supervisor and then in the process I was cut off. The experience was extremely frustrating, I believe they do this so you will give up. I will never use them again, and I would advise anyone not to use them.

My experience with Priceline and Agoda has been extremely frustrating, disappointing, and completely unacceptable. I would think twice before booking through either company again. I booked two hotel reservations through Priceline, and the booking information indicated that breakfast was included. I made my reservations based on that advertised benefit and expected the companies involved to honor what was presented when I booked. However, when my reservations were transferred to Agoda for handling, I discovered that the hotel’s system showed room-only bookings, with no breakfast included. Suddenly, a benefit clearly indicated in my original booking information had become my problem to resolve.
What followed was an exhausting series of back-and-forth communications with Agoda. Instead of promptly resolving the discrepancy and honoring the original booking terms, Agoda repeatedly suggested that I cancel my reservations. Why should I have to cancel my hotel bookings because of a discrepancy between the companies handling my reservation? I made my purchase based on the information presented to me. It should not be my responsibility to absorb the inconvenience and uncertainty created by a booking arrangement I had no control over.
After repeatedly insisting that Agoda honor the breakfast benefit represented in my original bookings, Agoda eventually offered a form of reimbursement. But there was another catch: I would have to pay for breakfast myself, submit the hotel's official receipts and supporting documentation, and then receive reimbursement in Agoda Cash that would expire after just six months. Let that sink in. I was expected to pay out of pocket for something I believed was already included in my booking, navigate additional documentation and verification requirements, and accept restricted platform credit instead of an actual monetary refund.
Agoda Cash is not the same as getting my money back. I have no intention of booking through Agoda again after this experience. A credit that expires in six months and can only be used through a company I no longer wish to patronize has little practical value to me. Calling this a reimbursement does not make it a satisfactory resolution. Ultimately, after all the emails, explanations, uncertainty, and wasted time, I had no reasonable choice but to cancel both reservations. It is deeply disappointing that resolving this matter required so much effort on my part when the original booking information should have made the terms clear from the beginning.
My complaint is not simply about breakfast. It is about transparency, accountability, and honoring the expectations created when a customer makes a purchase. When two companies are involved in handling a reservation, customers should not be left caught between them, forced to chase answers, repeatedly defend what they booked, and accept an expiring store credit as the price of resolution.
I cannot speak for every customer's experience, but based on mine, I have lost confidence in the Priceline–Agoda booking arrangement. I would urge other travelers to read their booking confirmations carefully, save screenshots of every advertised benefit, and verify directly with the hotel that those benefits are actually recorded in its system before relying on them.
My advice to fellow travelers: proceed with extreme caution when booking through Priceline if your reservation will be handled by Agoda. Make sure every promised benefit is confirmed in writing, and understand exactly what you will receive if something goes wrong. This experience has cost me far more than the inconvenience of arranging breakfast. It has cost these companies my trust and future business. That is a consequence entirely avoidable through clear communication, proper handling of reservations, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. I would not want another traveler to go through the same frustrating ordeal.

If I could I would give zero stars. I would like to start off by saying I had no idea I was even booking a reservation thru them. The tactics they use is under "reservation desk" (it's very misleading) by the way. I got charged 165.00 more than what it would've cost directly with the hotel. Very poor CS. Can't give any answers as to what the taxes and fees are nor is it itemized. Plus charge an additional fee of 18.00 for booking fee. They can legally hide the commission and keep it from a customer by combining taxes and fees. So you have been warned not to make the same mistake I did. Always make sure it is the hotel desk and not a 3rd party. Priceline is deceitful and liars. It should be illegal for the tactics they use. Hard lesson learned, just want others to be aware and not get taken advantage of especially during a hurricane as well.

Used Priceline for flight and car rental reservation on a 12 day trip from Georgia to Colorado. Not an experience traveler so thought Priceline would be a good service to use. Reserved online a Jeep grand Cherokee or similar vehicle. When we finally got to pick up rental after a very long wait and unable to reach someone about picking us up, they had us in a Ford escape which is definitely not similar to the jeep. There were 4 Traverse with luggage for 13 days and the ford would not work so felt we had to pay extra to upgrade to similar size vehicle we thought we were getting. Extra charge for more than 1 driver. Extra charge for vehicle going to be taken out of the state. We felt like we had no other choice still out Priceline reservation had no refund:cancellation.
Long story short, we had to pay an additional $1100 for car rental that really put a strain on my Pocketbook plus put a damper on our trip. Feel like when making the reservations, Priceline should have ask number of possible drivers and if car being taken out of state to give me a more accurate charge before I made the reservation. I have contacted them with my concern on how their service was disappointing in providing a more accurate charge and the fact that we were not given a similar type/size vehicle we were needing. Routes car rental was very unprofessional in their service. Make sure if you use Priceline, they don’t use Routes for your car rental. Review online customer complaints about Routes and they are similar to our experience. If Priceline going to help with reservations, they should get as much as additional information to accurately price you.

"Priceline kept $799.84 for a trip I never took, then justified it with something that isn't true." My flight was delayed over 12 hours and my whole Denver trip collapsed. I never used the hotel room or the rental car. I called Priceline the SAME DAY to start a refund request. Days later, they denied the refund - saying I didn't call in enough time. That is false, and their own case history shows it.
The rest matched: an 'escalation' on Oct 3 with a promised update within 48 hours that never came. A chat that couldn't see the escalation, couldn't name who owns my case, and couldn't do anything. A refund tracker on their own site that says it's 'not available' for my trip. $799.84 for nothing. No service, no accountability, and a denial built on a claim their records contradict.

I searched the room I wanted and clicked it, then the price changed and I did not notice it and pay it online with my credit card.

Priceline abandoned me when I had an issue with one of their preferred rental car companies in Orlando on September 23rd. They put me on hold for 3 hours and pretended to be working it out with Zezgo Rent a Car dba Advantage Rent a Car. After being disconnected I found out that you can’t resolve anything on the phone with either of them. Apparently Priceline condones the deceptive low life tactics of Zezgo. Well good riddance to both as I will never use either of them again. Do yourself a big favor and avoid all contact with Priceline or anyone associated with them.
